Sitting north of the tropic of Capricorn, Emu Park was where the climate changed. We left “winter” in the south and drove into the dry season in the north. I put winter in inverted commas because the Australian winter is better than any summer I’ve ever experienced. Forget what I said about the bugs in Australia not being that bad, in the tropics they are big. Huge. And they look like bugs I’ve never ever seen before.
